Model of Chlor Gas Electrolyzer from Salt Water Electrolysis as A Disinfectant for Room Air Microorganisms for TB Patients

Based on the laboratory test in book two, the results obtained: there is an effect of disinfecting the room air using Chlor gas from the electrolysis of saltwater on the decrease in the number of germs in the room air. The results of laboratory tests for room air disinfection using Chlor gas from the electrolysis of salt water or NaCl on exposure within 10 minutes, the content of Chlor gas is 0.0216 ppm and meets the quality standard. The number of airborne germs measured does not exceed 700 colonies/m3 of air. Until now, the electrolysis model with its variations has not been found to reduce airborne bacteria in TB patients with TB. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of various electrolysis models on the reduction of indoor air bacteria in TB patients. This study uses an experimental type with pre-test and post-test designs. The independent variables in this study were various models of electrolysis and the dependent variable was the decrease in airborne bacteria in the TB patient room. All TB patients in the working area of Puskesmas throughout Yogyakarta as many as 83 Puskesmas became a population in this study. Meanwhile, all TB patients in the working area of Gamping II Public Health Center, Sleman, were the samples in this study. This study shows that there is an effect of room disinfection with the Electrolysis method on the reduction of room bacteria (P = 0.000), and the Electrolysis model one is the tool that reduces bacteria the most, which is 51.0 x 10-5 CFU/m3 (60.5%). The results of the study are recommended to be tested for acceptance of the Electrolysis I, II, and III models by the public.
